Can you name popular women who are Recording Engineers? or Producers?

Can you name popular women who are Recording Engineers? or Producers?
Female Engineers and Producers are a rare commodity within the industry. I wonder why.





Sylvia Massy has established herself as a very credible producer/recording engineer.





Having produced the band Tool in the 90's, Massy went on to work with veteran producer Rick Rubin whom she would engineer and mix several projects for including Johnny Cash, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sevendust, and Powerman 5000, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Slayer, Donovan Leitch and System Of A Down.





The list of other artists she has either produced or engineered is quite impressive.





Lindsay Buckingham


Smashing Pumpkins


R.E.M.


Foo Fighters


Melissa Etheridge


Mick Fleetwood


Red Hot Chili Peppers


Prince


Elton John


Sonic Youth


Donovan


Kate Bush


Barbara Streisand


Carl Perkins

among many others.....





Here's a pic of Sylvia doing her magic:

Linda Perry, born April 15, 1965, in Springfield, Massachusetts, to parents of Portuguese and Brazilian descent, is an American rock musician, songwriter, and record producer.


Once best known as the lead singer and primary songwriter of 4 Non Blondes, Perry has founded two record labels and has become a major songwriter and producer responsible for hit songs by a number of successful female singers such as Gwen Stefani ("What You Waiting For" from her album Love Angel Music Baby), Pink (who had a #1 hit with "Get the Party Started", written by Perry), and Christina Aguilera (who had a #1 hit with Perry's song "Beautiful"





Perry has also contributed heavily to albums by Courtney Love and Kelly Osbourne as well as signing and distributing James Blunt in the United States.
Reply:No but I don't know any men doing that either. That must be a very tiny group within the general population. Today the future seems to be in construction work on bridges and highways. Just need a shovel to make a career in this field.
